In the Big Apple, Richey studied the craft of acting at the renowned Circle in the Square Theatre and went on to perform in countless stage productions, entrenching himself in the City’s vibrant theatre scene. During his time in NYC, he also co-founded the Tidemark Theatre Company, serving two years as its co-artistic director and managing producer, as well as performing in three of their productions. Richey now resides in Los Angeles where he has appeared in numerous films, on network television shows such as George Lopez and Criminal Minds, and on many regional stages throughout Southern California.

Richey also was named Best Supporting Actor at the 2008 Malibu International Film Festival for the short film Lie Detector. As a writer, he has penned several varied works, including the award-winning screenplays Hitting the Cycle (Princeton Entertainment Group Screenplay Competition Finalist) and Elegy in Paradise (CAPE Foundation New Writers Award Finalist). The first project from Tall Tales, the dramatic short Universal Remote (which Richey wrote, produced, and directed), received its world premiere at the 2007 Dances With Films Festival in LA and has subsequently screened at several additional film festivals across the country. Hitting the Cycle, also written, produced and directed by Mr. Nash, is TTP's first feature film production. In the movie, Richey plays the lead role of "Rip", a pro baseball player at the end of his career struggling to reconcile his troubled past with an uncertain future. Hitting the Cycle garnered multiple awards on the film festival circuit, including Best Dramatic Feature at the Manhattan Film Festival in New York City, Best Feature Film & Audience Award at the All Sports Los Angeles Film Festival, and 2nd Place Feature at the Tupelo Film Festival in Mississippi.
